Pre-order at ForgeWorld. Get either the figure (mounted and unmounted) or as part of a huge Rohan set.

The set has
- Théoden, King of Rohan (plastic)
- Éomer (metal)
- Gamling with Royal Standard (metal)
- Elfhelm, Captain of Rohan (resin)
- 24 Riders of Rohan (plastic)
- 24 Warriors of Rohan (plastic)

I will probably pass on this, I have enough Rohan to be painted as it is.

Well, where's his helmet?! I think he's pretty cool, I like the square armour and the unique saddle pad. I do think he'd look better on a grey horse... I certainly don't want the army, as I have all the heroes already. The throwing spear looks more like a lance than a spear, though.

As a horsewoman myself, the fact that none of the mounted models are sculpted with their heels down burns my biscuit. One of the first things a rider is taught is to keep her heels down; it anchors her in the saddle by pushing her bum into it. Every time I look at my Rohirrim, I doubt their skill level as the master horsemen they claim to be.

I really like it, will have to resist getting him for the time being though until I've painted my new gondor heroes

I have to say - I'm a bit disappointed with Elfhelm. Doesn't look very impressive to me. I'll pass :(

I like the model overall. I am a bit disappointed that he got the same chunky armor as the royals. I would have liked to see him is mail but I guess what he got fits with his high rank. If only I needed such a model.

I love the look of the model, he looks great. Will definitely purchase him at this fairly reasonable price for a Forge World model.
